Pokémon X, Pokémon Y: Skrelp, Clauncher, Talonflame Revealed!

During this evening's Nintendo Developer Roundtable, new Pokémon X and Pokémon Y information was announced via live-Tweets from the Official Pokémon Twitter. Here's the series of Tweets from the one-hour presentation.

Consolidated details from the Pokémon Nintendo Developer Roundtable:

Clauncher is a Water-type

Talonflame, a new Fire- and Flying-type

Only some Flying-type Pokémon (and a few others) can enter a Sky Battle.

Sky battles

Horde Encounters announced as new battle scenario (5-against-1 battles)

Mr. Masuda hints that interacting with Pokémon in Pokémon-Amie will have an additional benefit in battle!

Skrelp is a Poison/ Water-type

The new PSS (Player Search System) allows players to search for others locally or globally (via Wi-Fi) to battle and trade.

PSS is not region-locked

Players will be able to choose 1 of 7 languages to play the game (English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, or Korean)

There are over 800,000 Japanese characters in the game, which translates to 1.4 million words in English!

Other information not covered in the Developer Roundtable, but confirmed:

I'm a little confused as to why you'd only have 1 Pokémon? Is it basically, that you...oh. Oh, I see. You've only ever really gotten to use one at a time, so they just come at you bro. That's not very nice of them, it has to be said!

Multiple languages in one game feels like the future to me! This is probably why they're able to create a worldwide release. I think it's very smart.

Being able to import Pokémon from my DS carts, well...it just makes me happy thinking about it! I have so many Pokémon that I was never able to transfer. It will be awesome to use them again. To pet them through Pokémon-Amie!
